  • Absolute Power: Task Force VII #2 review

    Welcome back to the revolution! Last issue, Amanda Waller sent out her army of Amazo androids to hunt down the world's heroes.

  • Dark Knights Of Steel: Allwinter #1 review

    Once, Tom Taylor's Dark Knights Of Steel introduced readers to a fantastical new interpretation of the DC Universe. Now, Jay Kristoff sets out to explore a brand new corner of that world in Dark Knights Of Steel: Allwinter! Trading in knights and mages for Vikings and sorcerers, Kristoff's epic begins with an ill-fated assassination for…


  • Nightwing #116 review

    Fallen Grayson part three brings us back where we began in more ways than one. In a literal sense, Dick Grayson sets out to fulfill the climb shown in #114's flash forward.

Let's examine the…

  • Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #5 review

    In preparation for the final issue of Kill Arkham Asylum, I got familiar with Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. With one final member of the team left to go, let's take a look at how the stories intersect. This time, we saddle up with Nanue, The King Shark! A Small Pond Although King Shark…


  • Nightwing #114 review

    The final arc of Tom Taylor's tenure on Nightwing has finally begun! With the Alfred Pennyworth foundation successfully saving Blüdhaven, Grayson goes for a victory lap in his hometown of Gotham.

  • Nightwing Annual 2024 #1 review

    Contrary to the title, this is not a Nightwing book. In actuality, Nightwing Annual 2024 surrounds the mysterious life story of Bea Bennett. Unexpectedly, Grayson's ex-girlfriend and Pirate Queen has a more complex backstory than initially thought. Let's explore further! The Streets Need A Body Like most characters in DC, Bea's story begins with a…


  • Nightwing #113 review

    As Tom Taylor's run nears its end, Nightwing #113 works as a makeshift anthology for its #300 issue milestone. Somewhat feeling like an annual, it features three consecutive stories told by Tom Taylor, Marv Wolfman, and Richard W. Conrad. The issue honors the spirit of the run so far, and ominously teases what's to come.…


  • Outsiders #6 review

    In spite of the name, Kelly & Lanzing's Outsiders are unlike any before them. Disturbingly, the series has far more in common with Wildstorm's late 90's series Planetary. This includes blatantly recreating the team structure, Wildstorm cameos, and Luke straight up copying Elijah Snow's outfits. As the Wildstorm mystery continues to come together, it isn't…


  • Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #3 review

    The "Harley Show" has begun! The official tie-in to Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League continues with Harley Quinn's wacky escape from Arkham Asylum.

Where's Waldo When expectations are low, it's easy…


  • Nightwing #112 review

    The second half of Nightwing's latest tale begins with a race to find a missing child. Initially, Nightwing and Batman assume Heartless is behind the sudden homicide, but truthfully, something worse happening. Let's take a closer look. Proud Of My Son Interestingly, Tom Taylor continues to tell this story from Batman's perspective. Batman's observations about…


  • Outsiders #5 review

    The Outsiders find themselves in yet another macabre scenario against their will. This time, the team explores an exclusive "gala for ghouls" for intel. Unsurprisingly, they do not end up having a good time. Let's take a closer look! Consensual Predation? Batwoman's weird vampire ex is back in the picture. Back in 2011, the vampire…


  • Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #2 review

    Nobody asked for this, but Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum continues its prequel storyline. In this issue, an unexpected prison break causes Arkham's prisoners to take revenge on the Arkham guards.
